I am thinking of selling some other stuff other than CD's. I use "musicyouneed" and that works well and this year I was also able to sell some christmas figurines, both over $50 USD. I do have 2 other ID's but not much action on them, one sells books and patterns and the other CD's. Takes a long time to build a reputation.
Should I just sell them on my main ID? It is some jewelry and collectable art glass. It would only be about 10 to 20 items at any one time. Or would "musicyouneed" be too confusing?

Opinions will vary, but I would just add items to Musicyouneed by adding store categories on the fly to your dot ca store. Buyers sometimes peek at the additional categories just out of curiosity. You have an established reputation. With so few members leaving feedback it takes forever to build a following. If you are going to be selling items of varying weights and sizes, I would definitely go with Calculated shipping. If buyers will choose to combine is anyone's guess. (I know it's a challenge to combine a dot ca sale to a dot com sale.)
I never really played around with listing on both sites so that could make things interesting for you.

I would sell everything on one ID for the reasons that Lotz mentioned. The way the search system works here means that people are searching for a specific type of item rather than what the sellers name implies they sell.

I doubt buyers even notice the name of the seller they are dealing with.
If you want to build traffic to the other account, use that, but I agree, since I've done it myself, it takes a long time to build traffic to a new account.
